An Israeli soldier was killed while battling Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...turbans who attempted to infiltrate into Israel from the southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
Strip early Thursday morning, the military said.
The soldier slain in the border clash was named as Warrant Officer Zeed Mazarib, 34, a tracker in the Gaza Division’s Southern Brigade, from the northern Bedouin-majority city of Zarzir.
The attempted infiltration began at around 4 a.m., when soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted suspicious movement amid foggy weather, according to an initial IDF probe.
Troops of the Desert Reconnaissance Battalion — a unit under the Gaza Division’s Southern Brigade, mostly made up of Bedouin soldiers — were dispatched to the scene inside Gaza, just across from the Israeli border communities of Kerem Shalom and Holit, to search for the suspects.
At around 5 a.m., the soldiers came under fire by the cell, around 400 meters from the Israeli border. The soldiers returned fire at the turbans and in the exchange, Mazarib was killed.
Moments later, two of the Hamas button men were killed in a dronezap, and a short time after that, a third was killed by tank shelling, the IDF said.
The cell was armed with assault rifles and RPGs, according to the probe. Hamas later grabbed credit for the attempted infiltration.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a presser Thursday evening said the Hamas cell had initially emerged from a tunnel shaft some 200 meters from the border.
That’s an efficient, if heart-breaking way to find the silly things.
He also said that a fourth member of the cell expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.The IDF said no suspects crossed the security barrier into Israel amid the incident.
The incident was one of the few attempted infiltrations into Israel amid the war in the Gaza Strip
